I enjoy using a camera to translate my visualization into reality on paper. Visualization is defined as the ability to see in the "mind's eye" the finished work before actual application. It is the creative process of images transitioning from the realm of the reactive and contemplative to the conscious and deliberate. An element of surreal gives the viewer a different perspective on the subject, removing the literal and getting down to the essence of conveying the energy of the subject. For me, the image begins when the work goes beyond merely representing reality and enters the realm of personal expression. My methods are meant to be intentional, whether in the camera or post processing.

Palette




I've always wished that I had the natural talent to create an image from my imagination but alas, I'm not very creative. Photography is the closest I get with creativity. And this is as close as I get with a paintbrush!!! Swishes of the brush, a bright multitude of colors, and voila...images appear on paper, canvas, or even on a wall. A dash of paint becomes alive.....
